November News

Hello Constitution Families,

November is a wonderful time to reflect on gratitude, kindness, and the many things we appreciate in our school community. As we enter this month, we want to thank our students, families, and staff for their continued support and dedication to making our school a positive place to learn and grow.

It is important that your child arrive at school on time each day. Attendance is monitored each month by the Department of Education. In October, our attendance rate was 75%, meaning that 25% of our students were absent and may be at risk for failing. To understand what this means, an absence is defined as one or more missed class period per day. An unexcused absence will count as a truant day as defined by law. A student is “habitually truant” if he/she has five or more absences from school per quarter, whether the absence is excused or unexcused, and no more than 18 days for the entire school year. We love to see your child's learning and need them here at school every day to develop their skills.

Please remember to encourage daily reading, regular attendance, and positive learning habits at home. We also look forward to celebrating the spirit of thankfulness and kindness throughout the month.

Thank you for being an important part of our school family. Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and restful Thanksgiving!

Dr. Gilbert, Principal

Ms. Botsko, Assistant Principal

Our 6th grade students will be attending camp in the spring. They are raising funds to pay for the trip. To offset the cost of transportation and lodging, we are collecting Tax Credit donations. The more fundraising and donations we collect, the lower the cost per student. Tax credits are a great way to get 100% of your money back. Reach out to family and friends over the holidays and let them know they can help send a student to camp. For more information or help with Tax Credit, please contact Brenda Hernandez at (602) 467-6105.

Arizona tax law (ARS 43-1089.01) allows taxpayers a credit for contributions made for fees paid to a public school for support of extracurricular activities. The credit is a dollar-for-dollar credit that is equal to the amount contributed or the amount of fees paid. However, the credit cannot exceed $200 for single taxpayers or heads of household. For married taxpayers who file a joint return, the credit cannot exceed $400. You do not need to have a student enrolled in school to contribute!

Students in 1st through 6th Grades were celebrated at our Quarter 1 Leadership assembly in October, where they were recognized for perfect attendance, Honor Roll, Principal's List, and Outstanding Leadership skills. Our students are doing a great job at improving their learning, showing leaders, and getting to school each day. The reward of good grades have never tasted so good! Here are a few pictures of our Awesome Eagles!

For the month of November, our schoolwide S.O.A.R. goal is the playground. The goal is to be proactive by increasing the use of conflict-resolution skills. Please talk to your child about these two strategies: pause-think-act and stop-walk-talk. These help our students think before reacting.

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped! it was a great night and everyone had a lot of fun! The money PTO raises is used for our SOAR Store and goes directly back to the students.

Due to transportation regulations, please DO NOT drive in the bus lane for any reason. Vehicles are not allowed in this driveway. Instead, please use our 10-minute parking spots to keep the parking lot safe for all. Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe and stay in compliance!

- Flu season comes hand in hand with the cooler weather. Please remember to have your child wash their hands frequently and maintain personal space. We want to keep students healthy and at school each day.

- The breaks from school are a great time to go to the library, practice reading, and keep up with math skills. Simple things such as practicing math facts or reading at home help to improve skills. Make it simple... while making dinner, let your child do the measuring and read the directions. These simple tasks help to keep their skills sharp!

We appreciate your ongoing support and helping our children learn! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
